AI Summary

  • Lowers the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) threshold for operating a vehicle under the influence from 0.08 to 0.05 grams per 100 milliliters of blood or per 210 liters of breath.

  • Reduces the "measurable amount of alcohol" threshold from 0.08 to 0.05 grams per 100 milliliters of blood or per 210 liters of breath for evidentiary purposes.

  • Lowers the legal BAC presumption threshold from 0.05 to 0.02 grams per 100 milliliters of blood (or per 210 liters of breath), below which a driver is presumed not under the influence.
